Are her bodyguards carrying anything for protection?
>>30431652
They do look like they're holding in their turds.
>>30431652
Open carrying hand guns of choice.
You never know what can happen at Applebees
>>30431652
anyone else kind of want to be a bodyguard?
>get to carry in anti states becuase they dont follow the rules
>get paid bank
>dont really have to deal with much other then stalkers and coked out starlets
>maybe get to fuck a famous person
ive looked into it and its fairly easy to get into. If you can put up with Hollywood BS and dont mind the lifestyle, its a lot better then my job right now
>>30431815
What kind of credentials do you need to get into something like that? I've been watching Ray Donovan lately and it's giving me all sorts of terrible ideas.
>>30431899
Not too much, and the rules blur depending on who you're with, as in who is doing the contracts. Technically anyone with a guard card could be eligible, but it helps to have specific training and courses under your belt that apply to personal security detail work, not to mention you'll get kudos for any medical training.
That said, you're not going to work with anyone famous unless you have serious connections or a serious resume under your belt.
>>30431974
The less famous they are, the better tbqh. I just wonder what kind of pay is involved. I've got military experience, if it means anything

Look big, tough, and/or black. Claim you have experience in some bullshit martial art.
Bodyguards are just there to intimidate anyone who gets too close and push someone around if they get touchy. Very few are trained to deal with a determined/capable attack situation if it comes up. 90% of celebrities walk around with some 6'5"+, 240lb+ black guy because basically nobody is going to fuck with them and if they do king kong is just going to one shot them with a punch.
Bas Rutten had a video talking about how bullshit basically every "bodyguard" he ever met was, they all claim garbage mcdojo martial arts experience like aikido, krav maga, kung fu, systema, etc., and how he would regularly challenge them to sparring sessions and demolish them, if they would even agree to begin with.
The guys in OP's picture are probably just gym rats with a background in HS wrestling or some moderate fighting training. That's about it.
Serious bodyguards for overseas shit like protection detail are out of PMCs.
>>30431992
>I've got military experience, if it means anything
You and everyone else. You have to understand how absolutely flooded the private security market is with vets right now. Two big questions are going to come up, were you special operations of any kind? Were you a combat medic and what kind of extra training did you receive? Combat experience in either side is a plus.
If you aren't those two things get in a very long line, if you are one of those two things get in a medium size line.
Pay depends on who you're with and sometimes who you're protecting, but not always. Remember you aren't just some freelancer creep, you're part of a contracting company, if the client is sooper famous and paying a bucketload, it's not going to you, it's going to the company. You may or may not see an increase, but generally a company is going to put their most qualified people on the job, and if you are the most qualified, of course you're going to get a boost in pay.
>>30431995
Depends on who you know, a portion of security detail work is intimidation, but understand just because you see 3 dudes walking with the client, that there aren't 10 more in the background. You don't NEED to walk with the client to be on the team. Furthermore you may be a direct attendant, and short, it all depends on the situation really. In a low profile kinda movement it isn't a big deal, in a high profile movement, pays to think about these things.

>Delusion: The Post
>proceeds to post delusions
Are there bullshit bodyguards out there? Sure. Are there bullshit agents that hire bullshit companies to protect their client? Sure. A personal security detail isn't about fighting prolonged hand to hand bouts, it's about three dudes take down the nutjob, while the other two rush the client back to the vehicle, and get them off the scene. Bas Rutten is as arrogant as the next guy, and it's anecdote to say you need no credentials because a professional MMA guy claims to take out dudes who have no professional fighting experience. Like no shit, but that's not the job of a PSD. You'll spend way more time planning routes, clearing rooms (and not in the door kicker way you think) and telling people that your client doesn't want a picture / can't talk / etc.

prior military or LEO work or anything related to that. Speaking multiple languages, first aide/CPR, security and protective work, ehll I bet anything with working with kids can give you a boost
youre just there to escort people through paparazzi and stop them from making asses of themselves 95% of the time
>>30431899
I just started watching that show too. To do that you have to be a gangster though. to do straight up bodyguard work you just have to be a bullet sheild

>>30432124
>>30432135
and how do you know all of this?
Private close protection jobs are swept up by a smallish circuit of well connected, well experienced and capable men.
Celebrities are soft gigs, unless they're famous for other reasons (like royalty, for example). There are more demanding and difficult contracts out there.
>>30431815
>dont really have to deal with much other then stalkers and coked out starlets

>>30432187
The point wasn't that they couldn't fight him, it's that most refused outright and basically none of them had any legitimate fighting training or experience whatsoever. Again, the majority of them are basically for intimidation only, which is kind of worrying if you ever have anybody other than a crazed teenage boy stalking you.
>>30432189
>A personal security detail
Give it a fucking rest, they're hired meat from a glorified talent agency who plan safe passage and light emergency situation scenarios. They're not guys out of the SS, a PMC, or a serious "consulting" agency like Alias, Triple Canopy, etc planning details in Iraq.
I have done some bodyguard work for vips/events in the states. I can answer questions.
Protip: it's boring and doesn't pay well
>>30432267
>it's that most refused outright
You're saying you'd accept an egomaniacs challenge to a sport he's a champion at? A sport that ends up in you getting your ass kicked? Again, even if they had extensive legitimate fighting training and experience it's still an ego filled manchild challenging you to a fight he's better at.
Why not have Bas Rutten try to take out an entire security detail, I bet all his fight experience would save him.
>They're not guys out of the SS, a PMC, or a serious "consulting" agency like Alias, Triple Canopy, etc planning details in Iraq.
Some come from that background, you think no one ever branched out from there towards this? Furthermore who cares if it's not a "PMC" Ever heard of Edinburgh Risk and Security Management? Would you trust them to protect your client just because they're hooah hooah high risk?
>>30432267
>They're not guys out of the SS, a PMC, or a serious "consulting" agency like Alias, Triple Canopy, etc planning details in Iraq.
They are. Private security firms cover it all these days and have for some time.
One of the agencies you mentioned provides security in most of the active warzones on the planet, but also to half of Hollywood. Do you know which?
>>30432333
Triple Canopy is ALL D-Boys and Batt Bros. Not that it's a bad thing
>>30432333
This. These companies are usually owned by some investment consortium or private equity firm, and they want to expand into all revenue generating niches they can. Once they've built the hiring, training and sales infrastructure to win the really high value government contracts for protecting people in war zones etc., they can, for relatively low extra cost, also do the celebrity/stateside VIP stuff. In earlier years, perhaps the industry wasn't so covered by investors so it was more fragmented, but nowadays, they're not gonna let additional revenue for not much more cost get away.
>>30432332
>You're saying you'd accept an egomaniacs challenge to a sport he's a champion at?
Wanna know how I know you have literally no fighting training or martial arts experience?
He challenged them to some sparring. It's not a fight and it's easily controlled and stopped at any time by anyone involved, more than that you aren't going to do much serious damage in 16 ouncers, shin guards, and likely with head gear. I sparred with King Mo for 3 rounds when I was only a year deep in training and guess what? I took some hard hits and got dropped hard, but I was fine and easily tapped out when I got out rolled. It's not a fight, nor is it a big deal.
Bas has a strong reputation for being a fantastic trainer and sparring partner, so just give it a rest, the dudes are just pussies.
>Some come from that background
Literally no.
Nobody is going to drop working for a legit PMC to come pull a lower salary working alongside a bunch of crossfit rats.

I get it now, your only experience is aging Bas Rutten who's trying to sell his training, and since he's your lord and savior you must rebuke reality.
Alright then, now that I understand you can't be helped I can move on happily lol.
>>30432444

I wish, I would save up for a few months of training to learn how to tickle livers like Bas.
But until then I'll just argue with a dude on 4chan who has fantasies about banging celebrities, carrying nation wide, and pushing around grabby teenagers and greasy papparazi.

Aww you mad you get btfo? Alright then, you kick and scream now kiddo, get it allll out of your system my little MMA boy. Face it, you're delusional, I never said bodyguards were people who went around banging celebs, I said they WEREN'T all useless people who are just big and have absolutely no experience. Get over it, you're wrong, it's 4chan, it's okay to be wrong.

Our security all have a military background, & first responder 1st aid training. When we're out, YOU would never even see them, or at least associate them as being witb us. The only time we're directly covered like tbat is in sudden crowds, & they get us out of there pretth quick. We're not famous, & not even that rich to be honest, but some people want my dad, so I've had gaurds since birth. Nothing has ever happened, ever.

Ironically Michael Moore had PMC guys doing his security, the studios paid for it and they were ex-Green Berets. It was mentioned on Howard Stern. One of the guys got a hot cup of coffee thrown in his face while they were in Ft Lauderdale promoting Moores bullshit
>>30432412
>Just stop, your fantasies are ridiculous.
I'm not the one talking about "sparring". What does this have to do with sparring? If you're having a fight in the street then you've already failed.
>Nobody is going to drop working for a legit PMC to come pull a lower salary working alongside a bunch of crossfit rats.
If you work for a security contractor, not only do you have little to no choice in where you end up or who you end up working for (it's contract work, you don't negotiate the contracts). Private security companies cover it all and have for some time. The contractors themselves are assigned tasks based on their suitability; language skills, ethnicity, age, military experience, local contacts and so on.
Aegis, among others, provide security for people in Hollywood and for oil executives the world over and everyone in between. Just because the environment itself isn't demanding doesn't mean the guys doing the job are inept.
>>30432873
Less than US20M. Most of the kids I went to school with have way more.
>>30432912
still pretty sweet man, good for you.
>>30432890
That's not possible. According to our Monster energy drinking friend, PMCs only mount coups in Central America and drive around Iraq in Ford Expeditions shooting people in the face. It's beyond all reasonable logic that they could possibly earn money acting as private security for notable people in the United States.
I can't even fathom a scenario in which a rich or controversial person would hire security from a reputable, proven company. There isn't even the slightest chance of a private security firm taking on large, well paid contracts in an easy environment. Why would they possibly want to do that?
>>30432957

There's lots of big fuckers in personal security. Their job is to be really obvious, really strong, and be very good at deterrence and removal of minor annoyances.
It's a dangerous job. That guy has the job of being out there with a 'if you want to do anything, kill me first' sign on his back.
Many bodyguards instead are there to blend into the background. Nondescript and discreet are good watchwords.
No McDojo martial art, they have a gun and a cell phone.

Glorified armed security. Not much more pay but perhaps a bit more dangerous. You don't pick who you get to protect, and 99% of clients are just random rich people that aren't famous qt's.
You'd also have to be one of the company's preferred guards to get a gig like that. Former law enforcement or security contractor, and look like a Chad because many clients want to personally interview you before hiring you as a guard and celebs are very shallow. There's an episode of the Kardashians where they're all oggling over some guard that protects her when she goes to Australia, its some Chad of course and she probably banged him.
